Testimonials

It was such a nice pleasure to meet you, and what you had planned for my father just took my breath away. It was so special to hear you tell us how he would just come over to talk with you. I think it brought him much comfort. Tha you for putting that Air Force article of him on your website. I am going to have a replica made of the painting of his plane to give you. Thank you again for all you have done to honor our dad. Love, The Gillilands

I miss my brother and I’m happy that he is at peace.
Rest in power! Always the jokester.
The Walker family grieves alongside the Sims’ – our other family. May our beloved Warren rest in Paradise. Warren, we love you and will never forget you.
Thank you and Ervette for being there for my family as we transitioned during a tough time in my life. May you rest now❤
Warren touched many of us and was a positive light force. I feel fortunate to have shared treasured moments with he and his family. Warren will be sorely missed. Condolences to Ervette and Dynasti.
Warren was a husband, father, brother, uncle, mentor, friend and just an overall good person. He was loved and admired more than he knew. Warren was smart, insightful, funny, intelligent, always looking for a new friend, and yes he was tall. Despite Warren’s height, I never felt he was talking down to me, or anyone else. He would always inquire about my kids and grandkids. I will miss that. Diane and I will miss the times we spent together as couples. I will miss our lunches & happy hours with other friends like Lee and Stubby. I will miss his bad jokes and all the laughter… but most of all I will miss my friend, Warren (aka… Tree).
Your friend,
David Westbrooks & Family
Wishing you comfort and peace to face the days ahead and loving memories to hold in your heart.
The Peters-Herron Family
I was blessed to have met Warren and share a few stories and experiences over the years. He was an honorable man and loved his family. You will be missed my friend. Rest in power!
I knew his from when we met in 7th grade. We walked many paths together and as life would have it, found we had to divert our journey as time marched on. I know his heart was to serve and for this I will remain grateful to say I got a portion of his kindness along the way.
He is now walking his journey with God, face to face.
Remembering Warren as a fun, friendly, warm & caring man who loved his family and was devoted to Ervette and Dynasti. He will be missed by all who knew him.
The Arthur family from Mesa, AZ send love and blessings. We know that Warren is resting in the arms of Jesus and he will be your advocate, Ervette in heaven pleading your case. Thanks be to God

My brother, Warren, will be dearly missed by my siblings and me. We cherished recent time spent with him and sharing many memories and laughs. Warren fought hard to the very end and we’re glad he’s now at peace with our Lord. His suffering has ended. His eternal joy had begun. Thanks be to God for His faithfulness and mercy.
Our thanks goes out to everyone who stood with us in prayer, reached out in love and friendship, and shared our pain. We are grateful for the role you played in Warren’s life. Warren enjoyed life and valued his family and friends. Thank you, also, to everyone who joined the funeral home’s zoom call despite the technical difficulties experienced. We hope to have a recorded version of link the service that can be shared.
My condolences to the family. I met Warren at work many moons ago. You couldn’t help but notice him he was quite a presence. When I was actively dating trying to find “the one” he was the greatest big ‘brother’ giving me his opinion and advice on who to kick to the curb lol. I will never forget a double date with Warren and his wife and he told me promptly after that the guy was not a keeper and he was so right. The next guy I dated became my husband and Warren was so excited for me and even more excited as we had children. He was always checking in and seeing how my family was doing. Warren was alway so positive, funny and supportive and a good friend. He will be missed.
He called me before New Years to tell me about his condition. He said don’t cry for me, because we will see each other again, in glory. I never knew it would be so soon. t was mot brother in Christ and blessed friend from college and my sisters and family loved him as uncle Tree. Rest in Heaven my brother. When you see my Dad let him know that we weep because we miss you and are overjoyed that you are in the presence of God.
